Despite the ease of access that streaming has brought to the distribution of music, the volume that's released can make it a daunting task to find unique new stuff every week. In this recurring weekly feature we put together a short list of new songs that stand out amongst all the noise and deserve a spot in your rotation.

All songs featured in this recurring series can be found in our scrmbl selection 2025 playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. 

Eve — "feel like"

UK dance trends have been used to nod to the past, but in Eve's hands the 2-step bounce becomes a way to convince a melancholy for times over on "feel like." The beat bounces ahead, with warped vocal samples stuttering off in the background like memories passing by, interrupted by the music's plunge forward. Eve himself sings about times now only remembered by photo roll, hop-scotching between deliveries to represent change and add tension to it all. Everything comes back in style...but the ache of time moving on never goes out of style. Listen above.

Hashimero Featuring 7co — "YOLOYOLO"

The message at the shuffling heart of Hashimero's "YOLOYOLO" is made clear by the title, though made slightly more complex with some lyrical unspooling. You only live once — so, you should probably just act how'd you like, whether that's being a goofball or a serious-type. The music they lay down provides a pleasant skip, but it's guest vocalist 7co who adds the depth via her words, conveying an urgency to be yourself not always brought out the four-letter acronym. Listen above.

NOMELON NOLEMON  — "HALO"

Another highlight comes from GQuuuuuuX, the latest Gundam anime which already featured a few insert songs from NOMELON NOLEMON. Like their previous release, the duo’s newest one, ’“HALO,” seems decidedly low key, with its otherwise buzzing electro-pop arrangement setting in the late-night feel alluded in the chorus: “I want to blame it on the night and forget everything / but I can’t sleep because I still see you when I close my eyes.” With a breezy melody carrying the melancholy, “HALO” unfolds as a quiet disco for insomniacs

SAGOSAID  —  "Am I afraid of dying?"

SAGOSAID bring back the ’90s in sound and feeling. Well, almost. The band roll out a fuzzy wrecking ball of a riff that echoes the woozy college rock blaring out of MTV’s Alternative Nation block. But despite the title behind this single, which also graces their new EP, Itsumademo Shinu Noha Kowai?, tapping into the same morbid mentality attached to grunge, this band instead decides to choose life: “Let’s have fun / forever and ever,” they shout, and the head-banging chorus fittingly matches their pursuit for thrill.

Sawa Angstrom And xiangyu — "RIDE"

Electronic trio Sawa Angstrom team with firecracker artist xiangyu — last seen releasing a whole album centered on food — for the lithe dance-pop cut "RIDE." The guest takes a step back from her culinary chaos to deliver one of the more vulnerable sing-raps of her career, with the music around her offering both propulsion and synth-powered sweetness. Listen above.

sedai  — "songline"

Fresh blood is starting to flow back into sedai’s emo rock after the band’s contemplative full-length, Underground, from last November. They still mentally wrestle with things beyond their control: “A rush of memories from the past / no matter what I do, I can’t make it stay,” they sing. But rather than being overwhelmed by the stress, “songline” finds the band cherishing the moment instead, channeling the spark into one exuberant hit of punk.
